Bad Movie Monday: Batman & Robin
How
many Hollywood heavyweights could they fit into this comic book flick? Not enough.
This film was unbelievably horrible even for the woeful Batman series. The story
involves Mr. Freeze (Schwarzenegger) and Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) battling Batman
(George Clooney) and Robin (Chris O'Donnell) for the city of Gotham. Uh, who
cares? Oh yeah, and to make matters worse Alicia Silverstone takes on the daunting
role of Batgirl. Also, director Joel Schumacher proves that he is unable to
make a good film no matter what the budget.
Highlights: Chris O'Donnell proves to the world that he may be the worst actor alive; Almost every sentence out of Schwarzenegger's mouth is a pun that somehow incorporates the cold (ie. "Everybody chill," "Ice to meet you," or "Mercy?! I'm afraid that my condition has left me cold to your pleas of mercy."); Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl.
Best line: "My name is Freeze, learn it well, for it's the chilling sound of your doom."

That one was bad. How much longer until you into the real kings of bad movies; Chevy Chase and Sly Stallone?
